Ariel ( pronounced /ˈɛəriəl/ (deprecated template) [note 1] ) is the fourth-largest moon of the planet Uranus , and the second-smallest of its five round satellites, after Miranda . Ariel was discovered on 24 October 1851 by William Lassell . Its name derives from a sky spirit in English literature, particularly Alexander Pope 's The Rape of the Lock and Shakespeare 's The Tempest . Among the smaller of the Solar System's 19 known spherical moons (it ranks 14th among them in diameter), Ariel is believed to be composed of roughly equal parts ice and rocky material. Like all of Uranus's moons, Ariel probably formed from an accretion disk that surrounded the planet shortly after its formation, and, like other large moons, it is likely differentiated , with an inner core of rock surrounded by a mantle of ice. Ariel has a complex surface comprising extensive cratered terrain cross-cut by a system of scarps , canyons and ridges. The surface shows signs of more recent geological activity than other Uranian moons, probably affected by tidal heating . |

Ariel is a moon of Uranus discovered in 1851 by William Lassell . Its composition is roughly 50% water ice, 30% silicate rock, and 20% methane ice, and it appears to have regions of fresh frost in places. Largely devoid of impact craters , Ariel appears to have undergone a period of intense geological activity that has produced a huge network of fault canyons and liquid water outflows over its surface. |
